Today we didn't do much in class because a lot of people were still having trouble with their blogs. While Mr. Schick went around to help people I customized my blog a little and changed my Google chrome theme.  After that we talked for a while and once everyone had their blog set up Mr. Schick gave us our first homework assignment. The homework is to define eight ancient Greek terms.

Socrates- he was a classical Greek Athenian philosopher. hes one of the founders of Western philosophy and taught Plato and Xenophon 
the death of Socrates- he was condemned to death by having to drink hemlock 
the Socratic method- created by Socrates and is a m
polis- a city in Greece ethod of teaching by question and answer 
the date 508 BC-  Kleisthenes reforms Athenian code of laws and establishes a democratic constitution
